They're all insecure. If they use an internet browser, they're insecure. If they don't have a trusted computing base, they're insecure. If they have any components manufactured in China (or other untrustworthy locations) in the phone, they're insecure.

Any application you access via web browser is insecure.

Most companies in regulated industries with high value data and information approach security from a liability standpoint. They know their applications are at risk and insecure. If they take appropriate precautions they won't make their systems secure but they WILL prevent criminal charges against them when they have a breach. They'll be subject to civil suits, but not criminal.

The Problem with the Android Operating system is that on devices over 2 years old the manufacturers No longer download new upgrades to their equipment.So the Owner is stuck with a potential security disaster in his hands.

There is also No known way to download an update yourself.Especially if your an Android neophyte like i am.

These Manufacturers should be held accountable for any security attacks that occur on their equipment since they won’t assist in maintaining the security of their Operating system
